Hey y'all!

We only have a few short weeks left before we decide who our next Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General will be (and 100 seats in the House). So, if you live in Virginia, drop a line or two in the comments, and tell me your why (voting).

Wishing you all an amazing day!

Standing up to a wannabe dictator is patriotic.

Protecting health care for Americans is patriotic.

Defending workers who make our country run is patriotic.

Saying no to troops occupying our cities is patriotic.

Peacefully protesting to protect our democracy is patriotic.

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see.

Agreed. DHS is supporting the destroyers, not the defenders.

The enemy at the gates isn't the only problem. When cities burn, it isn't only the trash that turns to ashes. How much is lost in the name of forceful presentation, of control?

It pains me to disagree with you AG, but I don't think he will. Not when he's transformed his immediate environs to something approaching his comfort zone.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

As of this morning, these standards were the least of my concerns for my bi-annual fitness test.

Definitely unimpressed by the DHS candidates.

We’re gaining ground!

We're within the margin of error on our most recent poll and our support is growing faster than all our opponents!
+3 for Kat since our last poll!

Welp. Just got that text message from the state confirming that my family of 5 with special needs kids is not getting SNAP next month.

Donate to your local food banks, y'all. It's the month of Thanksgiving and the month before Christmas, and there will be an influx of people needing to keep fed. 🧵

I have been in the worst places on earth dealing with the worst people, and I have never treated someone so disrespectfully or viciously.

This is real life: as thousands of federal workers are going unpaid, a ballroom is being built in the White House and the president wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Even Marie Antoinette would find that to be a bit much.

This hits me the same way as the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha sculptures in Afghanistan.

The same ignorance, arrogance, and malice masquerading as virtue. Maybe MAGA is the American Taliban.

I'll think about this while I'm taking my fitness test tomorrow morning.

I'd say "ICE needs you," except you'd crush it.

In every sense. 😉
